Care

Linen is a natural fiber made from flax. Our Even Stripes Linen is a medium weight, plaid fabric ideal for sportswear and home décor. Like cotton, linen is a perfect warm weather fabric because of its natural absorbency and breathability. It's known for its characteristic slubby texture and beautiful soft drape. This fabric is can be used for dresses, suiting, skirts, blouses, pants, jackets, drapes, placemats, seat covers, and other home furnishings, and because it is made from long staple fibers, our linen does not pill when washed.

This fabric is very forgiving and easy to sew, but tends to ravel at raw edges - be sure to finish all seams and hems! Allow extra fabric to match stripes - be sure to match up stripe positions when laying fabric out on the fold for cutting and carefully notch opposing pattern pieces at corresponding stripes to ensure matching from pattern piece to pattern piece.

If lining is needed, use a natural fiber fabric like cotton to maintain breathability.

Use standard stitch size and a universal needle when machine sewing Linen tends to wrinkle easily, and does not hold a pressed crease well

Great for tailored and structured garments as well as softer or fuller silhouettes. Even when fully lining the garment, finish seam allowances to prevent fraying

Depending on the garment, some of the finishes you can use are: French seams, overlock (serger), binding, rolled hem, hand-stitched or top-stitched hem.
